Tall Girl and the Band
November 23, 2022 @ 7:30 pm
A Chicago band with roots in the Northland will bring its signature blend of violin, guitar and vocals to the Kro Bar in Brule for one night only Wednesday, Nov. 23. For two of the members of Tall Girl and the Bangers, the event will be an even split between performance and homecoming.
Irish fiddler Gretchen Grube, the eponymous Tall Girl, grew up in Poplar and graduated from Northwestern High School in 2008. She’s been playing violin since the age of 7 and currently teaches violin to ages 3 and up through the Music for Youth program in the Arlington Heights School District.
Although she’s been involved in numerous musical groups, including the Milwaukee-based Irish folk band Gleason, this is the first time the 6-foot-5-inch fiddler has brought her sound home to Douglas County.
“I haven’t played up there in 15 years,” Grube said.
Guitarist Jimmy Hill also hails from the Northland. He grew up outside of Moose Lake and graduated from Willow River High School. Rounding out the trio is Madison Lyleroehr, a classically trained mezzo-soprano from Tennessee.
